THIS. This is what western media should show of russia: struggle, people in need. The fact that most citizens do not agree with their unjust government.
All our media ever shows is the strong nuclear power that threatens to evicirate the major cities of our baltic neighbours and is laying claims on our industrial regions, and then portraying it's people as mindless fanatics with kalashnikovs who would willingly die en-mass for their leader. The propaganda should be obvious.
If real progress is to be made, that has to change. And that's on us. I hope the good people over there will hold out until we realizes this.
